PickSix

How to Play

Pick 6 NFL teams each week. Your score is the sum of their point differentials — the more your teams win by, the better.

Scoring example
  • You pick Pittsburgh — they win 28–10 +18
  • You pick Cleveland — they lose 21–7 −14
  • Those two picks contribute +4

Add up all 6 of your picks for your weekly score.

🏈The basics

  • The pool runs for the 18 weeks of the NFL regular season.
  • Each week you pick 6 NFL teams from that week's slate.
  • You also guess the total combined score of the week's final game — the tiebreaker.
  • You may pick at most one side of any game — no picking both teams in a matchup.
  • One entry per person per season, with a one-time entry fee.
  • Miss the deadline and any empty pick slots are auto-filled with random underdogs (tagged "auto") — you're always in the running.

How scoring works

  • Each picked team scores the point differential of its game: win by N is +N, lose by N is −N.
  • Your weekly score is the sum of your 6 teams' differentials.
  • Your season score is the running total of every week's score.
  • A tie game scores 0 for that pick.

Deadlines & pick changes

  • Submit your 6 picks before the weekly deadline (default Sunday 1:00 PM Eastern).
  • A game that has already kicked off locks individually — you can still set your other picks.
  • Change your picks as often as you like before they lock; the latest submission counts.
  • Everyone's picks stay hidden until each game locks, then reveal together.

💵Payouts

  • Your entry fee splits into a weekly pot and a season pot.
  • The top finishers each week split the weekly pot; the top finishers over the whole season split the season pot.
  • How many places pay out, and each place's share, is set by the admin at season setup.
  • A weekly tie is broken by the tiebreaker: the guess closest to the final game's actual total (over or under) places higher.
  • Entries still tied — same score and same guess — split the combined dollars of the places they occupy, evenly. Season-long ties always split this way.

🤝Fair play

  • Picks are yours alone — no shared or duplicate entries.
  • The commissioner's call is final on any scoring or scheduling question.
